These dry winters really are no joke! 🥶It may not seem like much to have dry skin in the winter, but think again. Since the air is drier, dry skin can be more prone to wrinkles and also breakouts since retaining moisture can be difficult.
All the prep you put into your skin the morning can wear off by the end of the day. This means having a travel skincare product can be your lucky savior for dry skin to be less red and inflamed. Luckily, I was able to find a new solution to keeping redness and dryness at bay thanks to @go.picky @pickyrewards @thankyoufarmer_official.
I received this product for free from Picky and Thank You Farmer in exchange for my honest review. The balm was used for 2-3 weeks on a regular basis before coming up with my honest opinions.
Bye, Bye Winter Dry(ness)
Thank You Farmer’s Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm is a product that is meant to be used anytime, anywhere. It was created with dry skin and sensitive skin in mind since these skin types can feel dull and crepey without proper care. Not only is the balm meant for your face, it can also work for other dry parts of your body (like dry elbows). There are many possibilities when it comes to using the balm stick.
The Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm can help make sure your skin stays moisturized for longer due to the sensitive-skin-friendly ingredient list. Some of the ingredients are also commonly used as a solution for dry skin to keep it supple, smooth, and hydrated. Here are some of the ingredients that make this item a possible staple for your skincare collection:
The rice balm is definitely a nice product to try if you are prone to itchiness or in need of a solution to hyperpigmentation. Their testing results reported that 59.44% of participants had less itchy skin and 19.46% of participants reported lighter pigmentation. Thank You Farmer’s multi balm is designed to be used by all skin types, so anyone is welcome to use it.
If you want to try this product for yourself, it typically costs $32.00 USD for 10 grams on Stylevana. You can get the balm at 10% off if you use my discount code INF10OHMY at the checkout on Stylevana’s website.
All Rice, All Nice
Small and Sturdy Packaging
The packaging is super sleek and minimal. There’s a nice sheen to the exterior of the container and looks like it gives the glow from within look like the product is supposed to do. I had this in my bag for touch-ups and the product didn’t open while it was in my bag. It stayed nice and secure, ready for whenever my dry skin needed some hydration.
Easy to Open and Use
The product is easy to apply since it has a twist mechanism to estimate how much of the balm you would need. The product can go in and out without getting stuck in the tube.
In terms of the balm consistency, it is a velvety balm that is better to apply directly to the skin to melt it. I tried using my fingers to apply the balm, but it doesn’t smooth the product out as well. The balm appears white but goes on clear to the skin. If I had to describe the feeling of the balm on my skin, I would say that it leaves my skin looking normal and feeling a little buttery than before.
Sensitive Skin and Nose Approved
The formula itself has no scent to it. My skin did not break out while using this product. The balm felt like a lightweight lotion that didn’t make my skin feel slippery. My skin felt like it had a very thin layer of tackiness for the balm to stick, but it wasn’t bothersome.
No White Cast
The Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm did not leave a white cast. It goes on smoothly for a thin layer that leaves your skin feeling balmy and a subtle, dewy sheen. The formula feels like what a pore-filling makeup primer would be and kind of blurs your pores from afar. I think because of the rice in the formula and other blemish-fighting ingredients, my blemishes looked less apparent after using the balm for a few weeks. It was my skin but better.
Cooling Sensation
I love how immediately upon application you get a slight cooling effect! The cooling sensation is probably due to the use of Centella Asiatica in the formulation. For this reason, I personally think that it can make a good eye-depuffing product.
Was Expecting More
Even though the plastic container was big for an on-the-go product, I was thinking that there should be more of the hydrating balm. The container seemed to be 50% multi balm and 50% twisting mechanism to life the balm. With this product intended for frequent, daily touch-ups, I think this product can be used up within 1-2 months because of how little there is. If you have rosacea, psoriasis, or really flakey skin and are expecting this to be a solution for that, just be aware you might end up finishing the product quickly. There are no issues with the formula itself.
Would I repurchase?
I would say maybe not because I think there should be more of the balm considering the size of the packaging. It’s difficult trying to justify the $32 price tag for me since I am 1) a young adult trying to save money and 2) someone who has tried out other amazing products for cheaper and with great ingredient lists. Maybe if I wasn’t thinking too much about money, then maybe my opinion would change. Right now I don’t think it’s a skincare item that I have to go out of my way to purchase.
Do I think that this product is worth a shot? Ya. Formula-wise, the product was great and not too thick! I enjoyed the fact that my skin looked moisturized and slightly matted with just a light use of the balm. There are so many ingredients in here that are perfect for people with different skin types and makeup preferences. Even people who do no-makeup makeup might get a kick out of it because of the blurring finish.
Most of all, I loved the cooling sensation that comes with the balm formulation. It is a great pick-me-up for when you’re tired or in need of moisture either due to dry heat or from the dry cold air. This was a great first experience with the brand, but I do see myself trying out a different product just because of the size to the price point. I’m probably just not within the target demographic for this product, but things can change.
